Improving the quality of legislation in the age of large data

In the recent "Big Data Link Future" summit sponsored by Tencent Internet and Social Research Institute, Massenshur, director of the State Council's legal Office, said that the government, when formulating policies and norms, relied on large data for analysis, which could reduce the deviation caused by lack of data support and improve the scientific nature of decision-making, Improve the quality and efficiency of public administration and public services.

"By using large data, we can change the decision support system, improve the administrative efficiency, and strengthen the Government's management and service ability." "said Mason. He said big data provided new tools to improve the quality and level of legislation. Through the large data auxiliary legislation work, through to the massive data classification, the excavation and the analysis, may make the legislative decision-making more scientific, conforms to the Chinese reality more. can also be different groups of society, various kinds of information, such as legislative needs and legislative proposals put forward by different strata and mass media, are integrated and analyzed by means of large data, which is helpful to hear people's real cries and demands, to respond to the social difficulties, hot spots and key issues of the masses ' attention, and for scientific legislation, Democratic legislation provides the basis.

Of course, all of this is based on the reliability of large data. Wang, a researcher at the Internet Research Institute at Oxford University, warns that studying large data should consider two possible risks: one is misreading the data and the other is the deviation of the data.

Dean of Information College of Renmin University of China, director of the key laboratory of data engineering and knowledge Engineering, Ministry of Education Xiaoyong also said that scientific legislation requires scientific data and scientific processing.

Along with the trend of large data, there is also how to protect personal information and reasonable use of the problem.

"The data everywhere, our basic necessities, joys and sorrows, eat and drink are in the form of data." How to deal with the relationship between data use and personal information protection, has put forward some new challenges to the existing legal rules and legislation. "said Mason.

The "decision on strengthening the protection of Network Information" adopted by the NPC Standing Committee in December 2012, the Regulation on personal information protection of telecommunications and Internet users issued by Ministry of Industry in July 2013, the Consumer Rights Protection Act of March 2014, and the "Network transaction management measures" enacted by the National Bureau of Commerce, Are clear about the protection of personal information rights.

However, the relevant norms on the definition of personal information and violations of personal information legal liability, or lack of adequate specific provisions. "Because of the different understanding of the connotation and denotation of personal information, the scope of personal information is difficult to determine, which leads to the lack of unified understanding and norms in practice," Mr. Marston said. This is not conducive to the full use of large data, but also to the protection of personal information.

"The data we see and use are actually captured on isolated islands by different companies, different companies and different services," said Tang Dao, president of Tencent's social networking business group. Every company may have its own cloud. If we can integrate these data on different islands, establish a platform and system of data exchange, and protect the personal information and normalize the data, it is beneficial to the company and individuals, even to the whole society.
